electricpy.ic_555_monostable(R=None, C=None, t_high=None, t_low=None)[source]¶

555 Integrated Circuit Calculator.

Evaluate a number of common attributes related to the common 555 integrated circuit including time period, frequency, duty cycle, time spent low during each cycle, time spent high during each cycle.

TODO: This function should be broken into multiple smaller functions.

Parameters:¶

R : float, optional¶

Resistance used in configuring IC 555.

C : float, optional¶

Capacitance between Threshold Pin and ground

t_high : float, optional¶

Pulse width (ON time) of IC 555

t_low : float, optional¶

OFF time (not used in monostable mode)

Returns:¶

float – argument is None.

Return type:¶

The solved parameter (R, C, or T=R*C*log(3)) depending on which
